[CALIBK12] databases for middle school

[Kathy Pinasco]

Our district recently purchased some of the Marshall Cavendish databases for their middle school.   They are relatively inexpensive and cover a variety of science and history social science topics....The purchase is for a 3 year contract and will also allow for a discount for print materials.  Check out their site and request the free trials.  You can allow your sites to  evaluate prior to a lesson a a specific area.

I would like to know this as well, since our pres-6th is 
expanding to middle school.  I would also like to know any problems or 
opinions about linking the school to the local public libraries databases via 
web site link. Each student would have to have a PL card of 
course.

I work in a middle school 
library.  Our library has not 
purchased any online databases. If you are in a middle school library and 
subscribe to databases, please tell me which you would or wouldn't recommend and 
why.  Has the use justified the 
cost?  
 
Thank you,
